For the blue version, icon presses, menu button presses, and menu selections would look better in theme-matching blue, as would the several areas that use two different kinds of text (menus, playlists, conversations inbox view, etc). White primary text with blue secondary text in these areas would look better I think.
Ookay.. there are different text colors for different themes, maybe you forgot to reboot after selecting theme in order to hildon-desktop-engine to load new font color values for secondary and active texts?
List item highligh-color is going to be changed to match the theme's color scheme.
-The colors in individual conversations could use some attention. Somewhat difficult to read the names, as its dark gray text on dark gray background. I'll refer to the MER/M5 Conversations color scheme here; with its blue names and dates, it looks nice and is easy to read.
Conversation window has greys on names and I think it's cool to keep them grey. What brightness level are you using if you can't read the names? I'm using 4/5 and I think it's readable enough since the names aren't the "point" on the conversation window. I want to make the conversation text to stand out compared to the name. Color "matching" to the theme is done with the border color of the conversation bubbles.
-icing on the cake would be theme specific shades on the virtual keyboards. Your keyboards look very nice, though would be even better if they matched their theme version
I'm gonna do this when I have time. This is on the to-do list
@PipoXtreme:
Message pop-ups are yellow because I wan't them to be stand out from the basic color scheme. Yellow is also the "default" notification color so I though it would be a good idea to keep that color.
@DaKing:
Didn't understand the "question". You want more transparency or what?
@der_ronny:
The whole point of my icons is that they are rounded. That's the style I have had in my mind since the first theme I've ever made and I'm afraid I won't change that. Nice suggestion though

Been trying the updated black and blue versions today and like the improvements! I haven't tried a lot of the other themes that are out, but up to this point I've considered the MER/M5 Blue theme to be the benchmark against which I compare other themes, because it is complete, everything meshes together well, and it looks clean and professional. Your D-SERIES themes are of the same quality in my opinion, with the blue version challenging the MER/M5 theme for the title of "best blue theme for n900". Some thoughts:
-new backgrounds with the bar at the top = awesome and creative use of what would otherwise be blank space!
-new list separator = much better than the dots
-new top menu buttons = great! though the highlight for the close button has that creative shape you've made, even though the close button is always rectangular, so it kind of looks off.
-unlock screen and slider = very nice, I like the big slider button

It was you who spotted those things and they were easy to fix. I think I'm still gonna do a small tweak to conversation name-colors. Opposite's name color is too close the message text color and makes it hard to quickly read just the message. List item highlighting is also a bit too bright compared to rest of the theme.

Well, since you're talking about some more color tweaks, I've noticed that the app mgr/clock/media player backgrounds are brighter than the desktop background. Wasn't sure if that was intentional.

Great work... thanks.. but 1 "little bug" I`ve found as well.
When I install a software and then the message of install done come up... this message background don`t fit to the theme colours.
I`ve the blue theme. Maybe you can change this backgrount of the message line as well to a brighter blue or something like that...
( at the moment its white or a little bit of yellow included )
Sorry for the short critic !
